Atlético meet Strømsgodset, Stoke play Hajduk

Winners in 2009/10, Club Atlético de Madrid will play Norway's Strømsgodset IF in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round while English FA Cup runners-up Stoke City FC kick off against HNK Hajduk Split.

The 2010 Norwegian Cup winners, Strømsgodset will be facing one of the biggest games in their European history, mindful perhaps that things can go badly under the spotlight; they met Liverpool FC in the first round of the 1974/75 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, losing the opening leg 11-0 before regaining some pride with a 1-0 loss in Norway.
